  • Japan has developed innovative new technology to tap into the vast energy producing potential of underwater ocean currents
  • IHI Corporation has developed a huge underwater turbine to harvest energy from the world's strongest ocean current, the Kuroshio Current off the east coast of Japan
  • The turbine, called Kairyu & developed over 10 years, is anchored to the ocean floor 100 to 160 feet below the surface
  • It has two counter-rotating turbine fans, collects the current-generated energy and transmits it over seabed cables
  • The 330-ton prototype turbine is producing consistent, renewable electrical energy
  • It will go into full commercial production in 2030
  • The turbine has the potential to generate 2 megawatts of electricity in future trials
  • According to energy experts, marine energy, through waves, currents, tides and temperature differentials, has tremendous potential as a sustainable and widespread clean energy source.
